He's doing more to handle this problem than any president in your lifetime.
That's not saying much....let's be serious, he doesn't want to fix this...this speech wouldn't have happened if he wasn't losing his base...worst of all is that he didn't even speak to his base tonight..
Actually, he's done more to increase this problem than any president in anyone's lifetime. Under the Bush Presidency government aid to illegal immigrants has increased greatly; such as when he granted "temporary protected status," to 150,000 illegal Salvadorans in 2001, sheilding them from deportation. But that's just one of many examples of Bush leading the illegal immigrant invasion.
Time and again Bush has defended illegal immigration, we all know he views them as "temporary guest workers", even though nobody invited these "guests" to our country. Meanwhile he assaults patriotic Americans with the incredibly arrogant, (and stupid) term "vigilante". Now look who is sending 6,000 "vigilantes" to the border. At least the President has opened up one of his eyes.
A little more pressure from his base and we might actually get the President to do the right thing and begin deporting these millions and millions of invaders. But so far Bush has made it very clear that he wants to reward their invasion with a fast track to citizenship.
